Crime, Its Causes and Remedies by Cesare Lombroso ~ Full Audiobook [science]

Crime, Its Causes and Remedies by Cesare Lombroso audiobook.

Genre: science

In Crime, Its Causes and Remedies, pioneering Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso lays out a sweeping, controversial attempt to explain why people commit crimes and how societies should respond. Writing at the crossroads of medicine, psychology, and emerging social science, Lombroso examines the criminal not only as a legal subject but as a human being shaped by heredity, environment, education, poverty, addiction, and mental illness. Moving from case studies and observational claims to broader arguments about prisons, punishment, rehabilitation, and prevention, he challenges purely moral or purely legal explanations of wrongdoing and insists on studying crime as a phenomenon with discoverable patterns and practical implications. Along the way, he engages questions that still feel urgent: What role do social conditions play in violence and theft? How should the law treat youth, repeat offenders, and those with psychiatric disorders? And can public policy reduce crime more effectively than harsher penalties? The result is a foundational work of positivist criminology - provocative, historically influential, and essential for listeners interested in the origins of modern debates about justice and reform.
